Diversions



Well...I have some kind of need to make useless things..and since I am still waiting to get my casting of Han Solo in Carbonite, and I am waiting for my second R2D2 aluminum leg to be welded up, I managed to create a couple more smal projects. I wish I could just relx, but I have some weird obsession.

The paper R2D2 (which is only partly done so far) I am making..just cuz it looked easy and kind of cool, but I was thinking if it fits I will have it hang upside down from my ceiling and cover my projector...that way it will look like R2 is projecting my movies. It might look dumb in the end, but I just gotta try.

I saw the Spider-Man costume at a store, and I couldn't resist. Once again I made the body from PVC and foam...and lots of duct tape. This one was tougher than thr Darth Vader and the Stormtrooper because I wanted muscle definition. It turned out ok. I still need to find some adult red gloves and socks, and I have to make hands and feet somehow. He will hang on the wall.

I am so happy my wife tolerates my weird hobbies..and hasn't checked me into a mental hospital yet!
